Abstract
Description
- The present application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-024309 filed on Feb. 17, 2020, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
- The present invention relates to a frame member-including inductor and a frame member-including laminated sheet.
- Conventionally, an inductor has been known to be mounted on an electronic device. As such an inductor, a small inductor including a wiring and a magnetic layer covering the wiring and containing flat-shaped magnetic particles has been proposed (ref: for example,
Patent Document 1 below). - [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-220618
- However, it is necessary to form a via in the magnetic layer of the inductor for electrically connecting the wiring to the electronic device. However, as a conveyance device which conveys the inductor to a processing device for forming the via find conveys a workpiece of the inductor after processing, from the viewpoint of industrial production efficiency, a large workpiece is usually used, and the device is designed in accordance therewith. Then, there is a problem that the small inductor as described in
Patent Document 1 cannot be conveyed with the conveyance device. - Therefore, enlargement of the small inductor is considered. However, it is quite difficult to enlarge it while maintaining the accuracy of an interval between the wirings and the accuracy of a layer thickness. Also, producing a small sheet-shaped inductor using a conveyance device designed to match the large workpiece of each company incurs a cost increase. Furthermore, in the large sheet-shaped inductor with respect to the small sheet-shaped inductor, there is a problem that the influence of warping is increased, and further, the accuracy is reduced.
- The present invention provides a frame member-including inductor and a frame member-including laminated sheet which can efficiently and reliably process even a small sheet-shaped inductor.
- The present invention (1) includes a frame member-including inductor including a sheet-shaped inductor including a plurality of wirings, and a magnetic layer embedding the plurality of wirings, and a frame member in which the inductor is set.
- In the frame member-including inductor, the inductor is set in the frame member. Therefore, even when the inductor is small, in a case where the frame member has a dimension that can be conveyed with a conveyance device, the frame member and the inductor can be reliably conveyed with the conveyance device, and accordingly, they are conveyed to a conventional device for forming a via to be reliably formed in the magnetic layer of the inductor. Further, when the inductor is small, the influence of warping can be reduced. As a result, in the frame member-including inductor, the via can be efficiently and reliably formed in the inductor.
- The present invention (2) includes the frame member-including inductor described in (1), wherein the plurality of inductors are set in the frame member.
- In the frame member-including inductor, since the plurality of inductors are set in the frame member, the via can be more efficiently formed.
- The present invention (3) includes a frame member-including laminated sheet including the frame member-including inductor described in (1) or (2) and a processing stability layer formed on one surfaces in a thickness direction of an inductor and a frame member and including a cured product of a thermosetting resin composition.
- Since the frame member-including laminated sheet further includes the processing stability layer, it is possible to improve the processability of one surfaces of the inductor and the frame member.
- The present invention (4) includes the frame member-including laminated sheet described in (3) further including a second processing stability layer formed on the other surfaces in the thickness direction of the inductor and the frame member and including a cured product of a thermosetting resin composition.
- Since the frame member-including laminated sheet further includes the second processing stability layer, it is possible to improve the processability of the other surfaces of the inductor and the frame member.
- In the frame member-including inductor of the present invention, the via can be efficiently and reliably formed in the inductor.
- In the frame member-including laminated sheet of the present invention, it is possible to improve the processability of one surfaces of the inductor and the frame member.

The lower limit of the number of parts by mass of the curing accelerator is, for example, 0.05 parts by mass, and the upper limit thereof is, for example, 5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main agent.
- Further, the thermosetting resin composition may, for example, include particles as an optional component. The particles are dispersed in the thermosetting resin. The particles are, for example, at least one kind selected from the group consisting of first particles and second particles.
- The first particles have, for example, a generally spherical shape. The lower limit of the median diameter of the first particles is, for example, 1 μm, preferably 5 μm, and the upper limit of the median diameter of the first particles is, for example, 250 μm, preferably 200 μm. The median diameter of the first particles is determined with a layer diffraction particle size distribution measuring device.

- A material for the second panicles is, for example, an inorganic compound. An example of the inorganic compound includes a thermally conductive compound such as boron nitride. Accordingly, preferably, the inorganic compound is included in the thermosetting resin composition when the

When both of the first particles and the second particles are included in the thermosetting resin composition, the lower limit of the number of parts by mass of the second particles is, for example, 30 parts by mass, and the upper limit thereof is, for example, 300 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the first particles.
- Since the particles are an optional component in the thermosetting resin composition, the thermosetting resin composition may not include the particles.
- On the other hand, the material for the
processing stability layer 4 may further include a thermoplastic resin. An example of the thermoplastic resin includes the thermoplastic resin illustrated in the binder of thewiring 14. The lower limit of the number of parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin is, for example, 1 part by mass, and the upper limit thereof is, for example, 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermosetting resin. - The lower limit of a thickness of the

The lower limit of a ratio of the thickness of theprocessing stability layer 4 to the thickness of theinductor 3 is, for example, 0.001, preferably 0.005, more preferably 0.01, and the upper limit thereof is, for example, 0.5, preferably 0.3, more preferably 0.1. - The thickness of the
processing stability layer 4 is adjusted with high accuracy. - The second
processing stability layer 5 improves the surface processability with respect to theinductor 3. The secondprocessing stability layer 5 forms the other surface in the thickness direction of the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21. The secondprocessing stability layer 5 is in contact with theother surface 10 of theframe member 2 and theother surface 17 of themagnetic layer 15 in theframe member 2. The secondprocessing stability layer 5 has a sheet shape extending in the plane direction. Specifically, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 has, for example, the same outer shape as theprocessing stability layer 4 when viewed from the top. Further, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 blocks the other end in the thickness direction of thehousing chamber 13 of theframe member 2. Thus, in thehousing chamber 13, the communication with the outside is interrupted. - The second
processing stability layer 5 includes a cured product of a thermosetting resin composition, and a material for the secondprocessing stability layer 5 includes the thermosetting resin composition illustrated in theprocessing stability layer 4. - The lower limit of a thickness of the second
processing stability layer 5 is, for example, 1 μm, preferably 10 μm, and the upper limit thereof is, for example, 1,000 μm, preferably 100 μm.

The lower limit of a ratio (thickness of theprocessing stability layer 4/thickness of the second processing stability layer 5) of the thickness of theprocessing stability layer 4 to the thickness of the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is, for example, 0.05, preferably 0.1, preferably 0.2, and the upper limit thereof is, for example, 10, preferably 5. - Next, one embodiment of a method for producing the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 is described with reference toFIGS. 1A to 2C . - The method for producing the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 includes a fourth step, a first step, and a third step in order. That is, in this method, the fourth step, the first step, and the third step are carried out in order. - Further, in the producing method and processing (processing including the formation of a via 6 in the second step) of the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21, a member to be fabricated in each step is conveyed with a conveyance device, and it is subjected to a device in the next step. The conveyance device is large, and it is possible to convey a conveyed object (the frame member 2) with a width (length in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction and the thickness direction) of, for example, 100 mm or more, preferably 200 mm or more, more preferably 300 mm or more. - In the fourth step, as shown in
FIGS. 1A and 2A , the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is disposed on the other surface of theframe member 2. - For example, a solvent is further blended into the material for the second
processing stability layer 5 to prepare a varnish, and the obtained varnish is applied to the surface of a release sheet (not shown) to be dried, thereby forming the secondprocessing stability layer 5. In the secondprocessing stability layer 5, the thermosetting resin composition is, for example, in a B-stage state or a C-stage state. - Subsequently, one surface in the thickness direction of the second
processing stability layer 5 is brought into contact with theother surface 10 of theframe member 2. Specifically, theframe member 2 is placed on one surface of the secondprocessing stability layer 5. - Then, in the first step, as shown in
FIGS. 1B and 2B , the plurality ofinductors 3 are set at the inside of theframe member 2. Specifically, each of theother surfaces 17 of the plurality ofinductors 3 is brought into contact with one surface in the thickness direction of the secondprocessing stability layer 5 exposed from the plurality ofhousing chambers 13. When the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is in a B-stage state, theinductor 3 is in tight contact with the secondprocessing stability layer 5. - Further, when the
inductor 3 is set at the inside of theframe member 2, for example, it is possible to further use a fixing means such as fitting by a fitting member, screwing by screws, attraction by magnetic force, and adhesion by an adhesive. - In the third step, as shown in
FIG. 1C , theprocessing stability layer 4 is formed on the onesurface 16 of theinductor 3 and the one surface 9 of theframe member 2. - Specifically, a solvent is further blended into the material for the
processing stability layer 4 to prepare a varnish, and the obtained varnish is applied to the surface of a release sheet (not shown) to be dried, thereby forming theprocessing stability layer 4. In theprocessing stability layer 4, the thermosetting resin composition is in a B-stage state or a C-stage state, and is preferably in a B-stage state. Thereafter, theprocessing stability layer 4 is brought into contact with the entire onesurface 16 of theinductor 3, and the entire one surface 9 of theframe member 2. When theprocessing stability layer 4 is in a B-stage state, theprocessing stability layer 4 is in tight contact with theinductor 3 and theframe number 2. - Thereafter, when the
processing stability layer 4 and the secondprocessing stability layer 5 are in a B-stage state, theprocessing stability layer 4 and the secondprocessing stability layer 5 are heated to be brought into a C-stage state. Thus, theprocessing stability layer 4 adheres to theinductor 3 and theframe member 2. At the same time, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 adheres to theinductor 3 and theframe member 2. - Or, when the
processing stability layer 4 is in a B-stage state, while the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is already in a C-stage state, theprocessing stability layer 4 is brought into a C-stage state. Thus, theprocessing stability layer 4 adheres to theinductor 3 and theframe member 2. In this case, theframe member 2 is only placed on the secondprocessing stability layer 5, i.e., theframe member 2 is in contact with the secondprocessing stability layer 5, and does not adhere (is not fixed) thereto. - Thus, the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 including theframe member 2, theinductor 3, theprocessing stability layer 4, and the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is produced. The frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21 may include a fixing means which is not shown. - The frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 is an intermediate component for producing a via-includinglaminated sheet 1 to be described next, does not have the via 6 yet, and is not the via-includinglaminated sheet 1. The frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21 is an industrially as available device whose component alone can be distributed. - The frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 is immersed in various chemical solutions (including cleaning solution for cleaning the resin smear, an electrolytic plating or an electroless plating conditioner, active solution, plating solution, etc.) to be subjected to surface processing after its production or during its production in accordance with its purpose and application. - Further, a slit (not shown) may be formed in the
processing stability layer 4 facing theinductor 5 in the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21. The slit which is not shown, for example, extends from one surface in the thickness direction of theprocessing stability layer 4 to the middle in the thickness direction of themagnetic layer 15. However, the slit does not open thewiring 14. - As shown in
FIGS. 1D and 2C , thereafter, by carrying out the second step, the via-includinglaminated sheet 1 is produced. - In the second step, the via 6 is formed in the
magnetic layer 15 of the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21. - The
vias 6 are disposed in both end portions of theinductor 3 in a direction (corresponding to the vertical direction) in which thewiring 14 extends. The via 6 is a through hole thru exposes a central portion of one surface in the thickness direction of thewiring 14 and penetrates themagnetic layer 15 and theprocessing stability layer 3 in the thickness direction located on one side in the thickness direction with respect to thewiring 14 when viewed in the cross-sectional view. The via 6 has a generally circular shape when viewed from the top (not shown). The via 6 also has a tapered shape in which the opening area expands toward one side in the thickness direction when viewed in the cross-sectional view. - Examples of a method for forming the via 6 include contact-type opening using a drilling device and non-contact-type opening using a layer device. The above-described device (processing device) is interposed in a conveyance line of the conveyance device. The via 6 is formed with respect to the
inductor 3 on the conveyance line of the conveyance device described above. In the processing device, a predetermined holding portion or the like holds theframe member 2, and the via 6 is formed in theinductor 3. - Function and Effect of One Embodiment
- Then, in the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 including the frame member-includinginductor 21 theinductor 3 is set in theframe member 2. Therefore, even when theinductor 3 is small, in a case where theframe member 2 has a dimension that can be conveyed with the conveyance device, theframe member 2 and theinductor 3 can be reliably conveyed with the conveyance device, and accordingly, they are conveyed to a conventional device for forming the via 6 to be reliably formed in themagnetic layer 15 of theinductor 3. Further, when theinductor 3 is small, the influence of warping can be reduced. As a result, in the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21, the via 6 can be efficiently and reliably formed in theinductor 3. - In the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21, since the plurality ofinductors 3 are set in theframe member 2, the via 6 can be more efficiently formed. - Furthermore, since the frame member-including
laminated sheet 21 further includes theprocessing stability layer 4, it is possible to improve the processability of the onesurface 16 of theinductor 3 and the one surface 9 of theframe member 2. - For example, when the thermosetting resin composition of the
processing stability layer 4 is thermally cured and becomes a cured product in a state where the one surface 9 of theouter frame 7 and the other surface of theprocessing stability layer 4 are in contact with each other, theprocessing stability layer 4 can adhere to the one surface 9 of theouter frame 7. Then, when theframe member 2 and theinductor 3 in which theprocessing stability layer 4 is formed is immersed in various chemical solutions (including cleaning solution for cleaning the resin smear, an electrolytic plating or an electroless plating conditioner, active solution, plating solution, etc.) and theinductor 3 is processed, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution from entering between theouter frame 7 and theprocessing stability layer 4. - Further, even when the slit is formed in the
processing stability layer 4 facing theinductor 3, it is possible to suppress deformation of the onesurface 16 of theinductor 3. - Furthermore, as shown in
FIGS. 1A find 1B, since the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21 includes the secondprocessing stability layer 5, it is possible to improve the processability of theother surface 17 of theinductor 3 and theother surface 10 of theframe member 2. - For example, when the second
processing stability layer 5 contains a thermosetting resin composition in a B-stage state, i.e., when the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is in a B-stage state, in a case where theinductor 3 is brought into contact with one surface of the secondprocessing stability laver 5, and thereafter, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is brought into a C-stage state, theinductor 3 adheres to the secondprocessing stability layer 5. Further, theframe member 2 also adheres to the secondprocessing stability layer 5. Then, theinductor 3 can be moved in the plane direction together with theframe member 2. Then, in the second step, the positional accuracy of theinductor 3 is increased, and therefore, the via 6 can be accurately formed in theinductor 3. - The second
processing stability layer 5 in a B-stage state and theprocessing stability layer 4 in a B-stage state can be also brought into a C-stage state at the same time. In this case, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 and theprocessing stability layer 4 are brought into a C-stage state at the same time by single heating. Therefore, it is excellent in production efficiency. - Further, for example, when the thermosetting resin composition of the second
processing stability layer 5 is thermally cured and becomes a cured product in a state where theother surface 10 of theouter frame 7 and one surface of the secondprocessing stability layer 5 are in contact with each other, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 can adhere to theother surface 10 of theouter frame 7. Then, when theframe member 2 and the inductor 3 (the frame member-including laminated sheet 21) in which the secondprocessing stability layer 5 is formed is immersed in various chemical solutions (including cleaning solution for cleaning the resin smear, an electrolytic plating or an electroless plating conditioner, active solution, plating solution, etc.) and theinductor 3 is processed, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution from entering between theouter frame 7 and the secondprocessing stability layer 5. - Therefore, since each of the one surface 9 and the
other surface 10 of theouter frame 7 adheres to each of theprocessing stability layer 4 and the secondprocessing stability layer 5, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution from entering thehousing chamber 13. - Furthermore, each of the one surface 9 and the
other surface 10 of theinner frame 8 adheres to each of theprocessing stability layer 4 and the secondprocessing stability layer 5. - Modified Examples and Usage Embodiments
- In the following modified examples, the same reference numerals are provided for members and steps corresponding to each of those in the above-described one embodiment, and their detailed description is omitted. Further, each of the modified examples can achieve the same function and effect as that of one embodiment unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, one embodiment and the modified examples thereof can be appropriately used in combination.
- In one embodiment, the plurality of
inductors 3 are set in theframe member 2. Alternatively, for example, it is also possible to set oneinductor 3 in theframe member 2. Preferably, the plurality ofinductors 3 are set in theframe member 2. Thus, the production efficiency is excellent. - The number of the
inductor 3 is not particularly limited, as long as the number is plural. Specifically, the number of theinductor 3 is 2 or more, and 10 or less with respect to the oneframe number 2. - As shown in
FIG. 3B , it is also possible to further form liveprocessing stability layer 4 in the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15 exposed from the via 6. - For example, first, as shown in
FIG. 3A , theprocessing stability layer 4 further fills thewiring 14 and themagnetic layer 15 exposed from the via 6. - Thereafter, as shown in
FIG. 3B , the via 6 is formed again. However, the via 6 exposes the central portion of one surface in the thickness direction of thewiring 14, and does not expose themagnetic layer 15. That is, the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15 is covered with the newly filledprocessing stability layer 4. - As shown in
FIG. 4A , the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21 may not include theprocessing stability layer 4. The one surface 9 of theframe member 2, and the onesurface 16 of theinductor 3 in the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21 are exposed toward one side in the thickness direction. - Thereafter, for example, as shown in
FIG. 4B , first, the via 6 is formed in theinductor 3 of the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21 shown inFIG. 4A , thereafter, as shown inFIG. 4C , theprocessing stability layer 4 is formed in the onesurface 16 of theinductor 3 and the one surface 9 of theframe member 2 so as to fill the via 6, and subsequently, as shown inFIG. 4D , the via 6 can be also formed in theprocessing stability layer 4. - As shown in
FIG. 4B , the via 6 is formed in themagnetic layer 15 of the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21. - Subsequently, as shown in
FIG. 4C , the secondprocessing stability layer 5 fills the via 6. Thus, the secondprocessing stability layer 5 covers the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15. - Thereafter, as shown in
FIG. 4D , the via 6 is formed again so that theprocessing stability layer 4 covering the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15 remains. Thus, the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15 is covered with theprocessing stability layer 4. - Further, as shown in
FIGS. 5A to 5E , acarrier sheet 31 can be also used instead of the secondprocessing stability layer 5. That is, as shown inFIG. 5A , theframe member 2 is disposed on a onesurface 32 in the thickness direction of thecarrier sheet 31. Thecarrier sheet 31 extends in the plane direction. The onesurface 32 in the thickness direction of thecarrier sheet 31 may be also subjected to peeling processing. - As shown in
FIG. 5B , in the first step, theinductor 3 is brought into contact with the onesurface 32 of thecarrier sheet 31 exposed from theframe member 2. Thus, the frame member-includinginductor 25 including theframe member 2 and theinductor 3, and supported by thecarrier sheet 31 is fabricated. The frame member-includinginductor 25 is an intermediate component for producing the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21, does not include theprocessing stability layer 4 and the secondprocessing stability layer 5 yet, and is not the frame member-includinglaminated sheet 21. The frame member-includinginductor 25 is an industrially available device whose component alone can be distributed. - As shown in
FIG. 5C , after the first step, the fourth step is carried out. In the fourth step, the via 6 is formed in the inductor 3 (the magnetic layer 15) of the frame member-includinginductor 25. - As shown in
FIG. 5D , the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15 is covered with theprocessing stability layer 4, and subsequently, as shown inFIG. 5E , the via 6 is formed so that theprocessing stability layer 4 covering the inner-side surface of themagnetic layer 15 remains. - Thereafter, though not shown, the
carrier sheet 31 is removed. Specifically, thecarrier sheet 31 is peeled from theinductor 3 and theframe member 2. - Further, though not shown, a release sheet which is not shown may be also interposed between the one surface 9 of the
frame member 2 and the other surface in the thickness direction of theprocessing stability layer 4. Thus, theframe member 2 can be also peeled from the release sheet to be reused. - As one example of the processing in the second step, the formation of the via 6 is illustrated. However, the processing in the second step is not limited to this, and examples thereof include the formation of an electrically conductive layer, cutting, covering, lamination, marking, cleaning, and etching.
- In the formation of the electrically conductive layer, as shown by phantom lines of
FIGS. 1D, 3B, 4D, and 5E , an electricallyconductive layer 45 is formed in the via 6. Examples of a material for the electricallyconductive layer 45 include conductive materials such as copper. In the formation of the electricallyconductive layer 45, for example, an electrolytic copper plating solution is used. Thus, the via-includinglaminated sheet 1 including the electricallyconductive layer 45 is obtained. - The covering includes, for example, an embodiment of covering the
inductor 3 with theprocessing stability layer 4. The cleaning includes, for example, desmear or the like. - While the illustrative embodiments of the present invention are provided in the above description, such is for illustrative purpose only and it is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Modification and variation of the present invention that will be obvious to those skilled in the art is to be covered by the following claims.
